Mission Statement
The South Dakota Home Builders Association is a
statewide non-profit trade association made up of
professional builders, remodelers and associate
members. We promote home ownership and quality
affordable housing through active participation in
industry related issues. We are the voice of the
homebuilding industry in South Dakota.
PRESI DENT’S MESSAGE
Frank Krause, Krause Construction, Watertown, SD Hello. It is hard to believe it is March already, these last
two months have really flown by. But time flies when you’re
having fun. Look at it this way, we are closer to spring and the building
season.
I have visited a few Home Shows, which are in full swing now. I
went to the Brookings and Watertown shows, and will travel to Aberdeen
and to Sioux Falls this weekend, March 6,7 & 8. Then it will be Lewis &
Clark the following weekend, and Black Hills March 27-29. So it looks like
I’ll have a busy March, which I’ve committed to do, and I enjoy it. I want to
let our members know we are here for them and support them at the state
level.
The two shows I’ve attended so far were great, with a lot of people
seeming very positive and ready to get something done, and the exhibitors
were very pleased with the crowds. One thing I did hear from a lot of
builders was about the shortage of help. Hopefully we will see a solution to
this workforce problem. New housing is at the highest we’ve seen for
several years, in line with what it was before the housing market crash. But
the help to get them built is not there.
The legislative session is about over. Bring Housing Home is slated
for March. We will let you know the time and date soon. Hopefully we can
meet with them all and voice our opinions on important housing issues, so
they can take them back to Washington.
Thank you to everyone who is taking charge of the SDHBA business
until we can hire a new Exec Officer for the state. It is a lot of commitment
on everyone’s part. Thank you!
As always, do business with a member, be safe, and God bless. If you
need to contact me, my phone number is 605-237-9165, and my email is
krauseconst@wat.midco.net. I will respond as soon as possible.

REPORT
Lynn Mennis
HBA Membership Chairperson
April is among us and things
are at full throttle. Most people in our industry are very
busy planning for new projects. Looks to be a fantastic
year.
The workforce group has
been working with the SD
Department of Labor/
Apprenticeship, in developing a 2 year Residential Carpentry Program curriculum
and students would earn a
National Career Readiness
Certificate. It is getting close
to reality. We are applying
for a grant up to 5000.00
matching funds grant from
the Challenge/Build/Grow/
Grant.
The South Dakota Education
Campus of Brookings is our
latest Student Chapter.
The rebates have been sent
out to the associations participating in the member advantage program. Most associations reported several
hundreds of dollars for their
association. The SD State
Association has qualified for
March/ April 2015 I ssue
the 1st quarter toward their
goal of getting 40% of the
rebates back for non-due
revenue.
The Q1’15 Rebate claim
forms will be due May 15th
for those builder Members
participating.
All associations are signed
up for the “I Want You”
2015 membership drive. The
state associations goal is to
reach 2000 members. New
members and retention will
help us attain that goal. Remember that double and triple spike points could be
